Jerry, my time with depression has been 30 years +, 20 with meds, so I have you beat so to speak but it is a struggle of often insurmontable proportions that those who haven't had "real" clinical deprssion have no idea what we go through and will never know either.
All you can do is decide life holds some meaning or purpose and that you find some some hope that there might be some answer left for you. I think with all the options there are, despite "wasting" alot of time looking, it keeps us busy, where in the past, after a few options, that was it.
Have you tried all the MAO's??? They can really help for some. I just started Nardil and noticed a difference in the first week. After it pooped out in 1999 I tried, like you, just about everything else...nothing worked except some brief glimpses and marginal responses which allowed me to functioning in a half alive state. Many time over the past 30 years that is how I got by and I fooled many people into thinking life was good, or it looked good from the outside looking in...it wasn't good, but I went through the motions, still hoping for an answer. I had several real close calls but must have believed in something, what I'm not sure, but I did start to find the answers for myself.
Researching for yourslf will perhaps help you find something that can work for you. Some of the nutritional products or vitamins might help. I tried DLPA with some success so that was a start.
Good luck Jerry, there might be more hope than you realize at any given moment.
